Book Claims Trump Told Netanyahu ‘All the Jews Are Sick of You’ During Gaza Ceasefire Call

A newly published book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, says US President Donald Trump sharply criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a 2025 phone call about negotiations to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.

The book’s excerpts, as carried by TRT World, say Trump told Netanyahu: “Everybody’s sick of you, Bibi. All the Jews are sick of you. Even the two Jews on this call are sick of you.”

TRT World also links the call to the UN General Assembly in September 2025, when Trump was advocating a 20-point proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza and rebuilding the territory.

The same account says Israel carried out an air strike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar as they met to discuss a possible ceasefire agreement, and that Qatar declined to continue serving as a mediator after the strike.

Anadolu Ajansı similarly reports the book’s claim that Trump told Netanyahu he could not “back out of” Washington’s proposed ceasefire agreement for Gaza.

TRT World says the book describes a crisis of confidence between Washington and Tel Aviv before the Gaza ceasefire was declared, and places it in the sequence after Witkoff and Kushner discussed the Gaza plan with former Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer.

In that account, Kushner and Witkoff conveyed their discomfort to White House officials, saying, “Dermer lied to us,” as the Israeli army launched an attack on Doha, the capital of Qatar.

The book also claims that Kushner and Witkoff met with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdurrahman Al Thani during contacts held on the margins of the UNGA in New York, and that the Qatari prime minister personally made arrangements on the draft text of the deal.

Anadolu Ajansı reports that the book says Trump told Netanyahu: “I’m the best friend Israel ever had. Everybody hates you, and I’ve stood by you,” during the same 2025 call.

Al Jazeera Net adds that CNN revealed details of the call and says Trump told Netanyahu that “all the Jews are fed up with him,” including the Jews on the call, referring to Jared Kushner and Steve Weitkoff.

The TRT World account says the Gaza ceasefire agreement entered into force on October 10 2025, and that in its first phase steps such as prisoner exchange, increased humanitarian aid entry, and partial withdrawal of the Israeli army from some areas of the Palestinian enclave were implemented.

Despite the deal, TRT World reports that Israel has continued near-daily attacks on Gaza and restricting the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave.

France 24 reports Amnesty International’s annual report, where Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard said, “war replaces diplomacy”.

France 24 also quotes Amnesty’s assessment that Israel continues “its genocide against the Palestinian population of Gaza,” with the international community taking no “meaningful measures,” despite the October ceasefire.

In the same Amnesty framing, France 24 warns that “everything could tip, where everything that has been built over the last 80 years could be destroyed,” as the conflict illustrates a “sliding toward contempt for the law.”
